Mead for weddings

Mead is know as the Honeymoon Drink - Wedding Favours and Wedding Toasts

Mead is the world’s oldest alcoholic drink, referred to as nectar of the gods, ambrosia, honey wine or honeymoon wine.

It is made from fermented honey and water and dates back as far as 6,600 BC. It has been made and shared in Ireland at celebrations for centuries.

Something unique and Irish for your wedding would be mead for a welcome drink, toast, cocktail or miniatures for wedding favours.

Something Borrowed

Mead is known as the honeymoon drink, fermented from honey, it was traditionally drunk at weddings to toast the happy couple. They were gifted a month's supply of mead or a moon-cycle, following the wedding to drink together, celebrate the marriage and bring good luck and happiness.

Hence the name 'Honeymoon.'
